I am the only one enjoying la U loosing 4-1 ? Yes, Yes I am Anyways after La U beat colo-colo 5-0 (I am still crying over this) I think sampaoli didn't get his players over to Ecuador in time for them to get used to the elevation. Seriously it's 2,850 m above sea level while Santiago is 520m above sea level. Wait to the return game. If La U can hold out to a 3-0 win (which I know they can do) they will proceed to the next round of Copa Libertadores.

Brandy Alexander posted:Excellent thread Drogadon. While I'm here I'd like to point out that the top Mexican teams don't play in the Libertadores as they have to play in the CONCA-CHAMPIONS. They use too, but then changed in 2008/09 it's same as Copa Sudamericana. I know this because pachuca won it in 2006 (I'm not bitter about this I swear) dj_pain fucked around with this message at 12:40 on May 4, 2012 |

Vinestalk posted:Might not have been as high scoring as Boca's previous Libertadores games, but was certainly exciting. Flu's definitely happy to only come out of that 1-0 down though. To come out of La Bombonera losing one - nil is good. The return leg is where it's going to get messy.

Well let's talk WORLD CUP QUALIFICATION for CONMEBOL As many of you know, we play a couple of games a year. Since brazil is the host and they automaticaly qualify they do not need to go through WCQ instead they are playing friendlies (which I think will end up turning against brazil but hey that's my opinion) The fifth placed team will go against the fifth place team of AFC for a world cup spot. Here is the current table. And here is a list of the upcoming games

Dias posted:Yeah, a lot of people have issues with both not playing the Qualifiers and the teams we're playing against on those friendlies. But I'm feeling like Brazil will yet again flop in the World Cup, because we haven't really revealed great players lately. Neymar is the only one that has proved himself on an international level, all of our other prospects are just that, prospects. Also, we miss Fat Ronaldo. They other thing that has been making GBS threads me is how they won't let neymar leave brazil. He is going to get a rude awakening when he starts playing against european teams. look at barcelona vs santo game, barcelona where running rings around them.

bolivia 0 - chile 1. First half just over. Bolivia had a couple of great chances but bravo is on fire today.

Bolivia 0 - Chile 2 Second half was "Lets beat the crap out of sanchez". Bolivia ended up with 5 yellow cards and a straight red. If they had a bit more discipline in their team they could of easily drawn or won. At least this puts my country men at in the top three (maybe first depending on how arg-ecu go)

Polidoro posted:Once again Uruguay manages to play like poo poo and complicate things, if Argentina keep playing like this they'll qualify easily and Chile's win in Bolivia sucks for us because we won't win there. Venezuela's looking pretty good too. Hopefully we won't. Also it looks like borghi is continuing biels'a legacy and primarily using youth players.

Polidoro posted:Thats what we try to do most of the time but Forlan was terrible yesterday and Cavani has never played a good game for us. He's loving terrible with the ball. see this is the problem with Uruguay is that they will struggle in qualifying but take them to a tournament (copa america or the world cup) they will pull together and go all out. I wish they end up coming 5th and have to play Australia to qualify (just so the Australian media can go crazy over this)

Anyway time for a World Cup Qualifier update After the last round of games the table is looking different. This time around Argentina has a match off (well normally they would play brazil but they are off playing (insert random country here)) I can see Paraguay beating Bolivia at la paz. Venezuela drawing with chile (Thou I am expecting my fellow country men going all out and then conceding a goal from a set piece) Uruguay should beat Peru... That is if Uruguay decide to come and play the god drat game. And lastly Colombia should be able to pick up some points in Ecuador.
